"Nice restaurant that is famous for his sesina, which it is meat that is put to dry under the sun and it gets salty to cure it. That is the main dish but there other options from seafood to chicken. A must try if you are in the area."

"Diría que es un restaurante excepcional en Cárdenas, es bastante delicioso sobre todo la cecina muy rica y el personal es bastante amable, me gusta qué hay lugar de estacionamiento, y qué pasó en la carretera. Los precios se me hacen ligeramente elevados. Pero vale la pena ocasionalmente asistir y degustar."

"Si estás buscando un lugar para deleitar tu paladar con comida deliciosa, no puedes dejar de visitar este restaurante. Con una variedad de platillos que te harán agua la boca, definitivamente encontrarás algo que te encante. Personalmente, mi favorito es la cecina, ¡simplemente irresistible! Sin embargo, una sugerencia sería que el restaurante considere tener a alguien dedicado exclusivamente a cobrar, ya que en ocasiones el tiempo de espera para pagar puede ser un poco largo, tanto como la espera por los platillos. A pesar de este pequeño inconveniente, la calidad de la comida hace que la espera valga la pena.↔ En resumen, si estás buscando un lugar donde disfrutar de una comida deliciosa, este restaurante es una excelente opción. Solo asegúrate de tener un poco de paciencia al momento de pagar, ¡pero te aseguro que la comida lo compensará!"

"cuentan con terminal bancaria por sólo “cierto horario”. desconozco la hr en la que pueden empezar a cobrar con tarjeta… y si mal no recuerdo. a las 2:30 o 3:00 comentaron que “se la llevan a otro lugar”. NO aceptan pago con transferencia. a menos que el mesero cuente con suficiente dinero en efectivo para cubrirlo. y se lo puedas transferir a el.. se lee y escucha algo raro este asunto. incluso se puede mal interpretar y es incomodo que no te puedan cobrar con tarjeta o de perdida transferencia. pero tal cual nos lo platicaron! fuera de eso, todo ok.. ENTONCES pidan que NO se lleven la terminal y/o que les cobren por adelantado o lleven efectivo. Para mí, la Cecina con Enchiladas. vale la pena cada que la he perdido (3 o 4 veces) la recomiendo!"

"El lugar muy agradable la comida muy sabrosa el detalle con el personal es que no te atienden como esperas pero se debe a que se les llena mucho el lugar y no se dan abasto pero tampoco te dejan ahí como si no estuvieras de ahí en fuera lo demás todo genial"

"Excelente cantidad de alimentos y muy buen sazón, si bien a los meseros les falta mas atencion y el costo es un poco elevado pero por el sabor es aceptable. La música, ambiente y lugar es un poco precario pero todo esta en niveles aceptables. Si mejoran en la atención tendrán mejores comentarios."
